Armed Security Officers

Armed Security Guards

Armed security personnel work for companies such as Armaguard and are mainly responsible for transferring money from one location to another. These trained professionals are also known as cash in transit security guards because they transfer money from or to the bank. Other places where armed security officers work are government buildings, the defence department, money exchanges, high profile business meetings, head of state events such as the G20 summit, jewellery shops, retail stores, and credit lending institutions. The list will continue to grow.

Armed security guards also work in conjunction with police at major events or at times of heightened security risks. The security officers usually work in a group of two or more when transferring money from one point to another. They are fully licensed and very well trained in handling firearms. Many experienced officers move on to become personal bodyguards for famous people and wealthy business men for prestige and large increases in salary.
